High Gain On The Cheap! Options

[Todd Simpson]

I wanted to build a rig that could "DJENT" but that wouldn't break the bank. In fact, I wanted to see if I could put it together from odds and ends. I was able to put something together in a naked rack that actually does the job and would run about $200 on Ebay not counting the cab.

1.)Joyo EQ
2.)Rocktron Cyber Distortion
3.)BBE Maximizer
4.)Samson Servo 240

The EQ is KEY as it "Pre Eqs" the signal preventing it from turning to mud in the Rocktron. The Rocktron has a built in HUSH/gate which is handy. The BBE punches up the sound and the Samson is a slave amp. Here is a quick and dirty vid (breaking my own rules using the crap on board camera mic on my new camera, Canon HV20)

What do you think? And what would you build with the same money?
